It develops when existing abdominal cancers, including appendix, colon, rectal, and pancreatic cancers, spread into the peritoneum. This causes tumors to grow throughout the peritoneum. The spread of an abdominal cancer to the peritoneum usually means that your abdominal cancer is in an advanced stage. Another form of the disease, primary peritoneal carcinomatosis, begins in the peritoneum itself. This is also a rare condition, and tends to affect women who are also at risk for ovarian cancer. Symptoms. Peritoneal carcinomatosis caused by abdominal cancers can create a condition called ascites.
